Playhouse cards by Studio Entice
The Architect’s Data handbook by Ernst Neufert, is the inspiration behind Playhouse Cards by Niké Dimopoulou and Nikolas Arnis of Studio Entice, Athens based multidisciplinary studio. Niké and Nikolas reflect upon their architectural background and references, interpreting the regular card suits into architectural details borrowed from the (loved and hated) anthropometric designs in Neufert’s book. Every suit corresponds to one of the “typical” spaces in a residence. The kitchen, bathroom, living-room and bedroom are laid down on your deck while the Ace of Spades (the death card) implies a murder that took place in the imaginary house.
